ABSTRACT
The regional development planning of Hungary favours the infrastructural development of chosen regional centres, to the detriment of smaller villages reckoned to be set irreversibly on a decline due to a fall in population. As villages lose institutions and functions, and are left behind in development, the educated - for example, teachers, doctors, and so on move out to the urban centres where people of similar standing and background are to be found. The village is therefore somewhat favoured as regards development and children from the three partner villages come to the main school in Pecsely as well as to the nursery school which is a recently completed modern establishment, taking seventy children under five. There are also villagers from surrounding villages who are keen buyers of vineyards in Pecsely and who, as has been seen have always occupied the top half of the hills surrounding the valley.
